I couldn't really follow the technicalities in the thread - but I think the following possibility was not discussed: "Cascading" (like in the CSS) abbreviation lists. Say, the ApJ http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8278/text-substitution/ abbr…

The discussed issue is not particularly important to me, and IMO a minor one generally. Still, a few more considerations: I like the easy to use but flexible user interface of the Mac OS X Address Book. There are two modi there. In the "View" m…

@ noksagt Thus, ISSN may apply to a report. DOI may apply to a book (or to report). These cases are not typical, therefore not included (yet, at least) - but they make sense. To your objections. could confuse users who inadvertently added fields …
-
.. sorry, a wrong click. Now, my suggestion would be to allow user to add any field to items of any type - though by default show only those fields, "belonging" to that type of item. If the user want to add, say, "patent number" to an "interview"…

On a related note, I've just downloaded a report having ISSN (even though the report states it is only available online - http://www.umweltdaten.de/publikationen/fpdf-l/3845.pdf ). My suggestion would be

There are many ways to mail PDFs - but if you colleagues also use Zotero, why not send PDFs together their bibliographic data? Select the items you want to share, right-click and select "Export selected items...", then use "Zotero RDF" as the …

noksagt, bdarcus, thank you. I've now installed bibutils via macports. Then Chris responded and fixed the link on his site. @bdarcus, with the BOM, it was probably a bug in my use of it - I couldn't reproduce it (neither on Linux, nor on M…
-
Including a BOM in a UTF-8 file is "not recommended" according to this wikipedia article (and my recollection), and I have a hard time believing... Yes, it is not recommended. But my (preliminary) test produced correct results with it and scrambled …

Well, telling the user that the box on the top right is a google search would be helpful on itself, as most of us have experience with google search. Adding a link would be still better. Btw. Ben - the documentation is a wiki, so you can always cont…

Sorry, actually I wanted to post into the Import/Export category - a wrong click, apparently. Could moderator probably move the thread there, please.
-
The lack of documentation/explanations is unfortunately common to both search kinds.
-
I'd argue that bibutils should probably export this same way (as it is more expected). The meaning was probably "The bibutils author should upgrade the software to better conform the standards". Is bibutils still in active development? I have se…

I think selectively expanding only some child items is a confusing idea from a UI point of view. Then call the function "show notes" :) Note are may be just another type of attachment from the point of view of technical implementation. But they…

the pre 2.0b7 look was, at least, consistent across platforms (I have a Mac and a PC) I have both Mac(s) and PC(s) too :) And I personally prefer Mac software looking like a Mac software, even if it is cross plattform: You cannot have full look-an…
-
As to combining "Tags" and "Related" panes - first, I thought, a nice idea. But then realized there are also people who attach a lot of tags/keywords to references. And in the typical Zotero view you have only a fraction of the whole browser window …

Note, Journal Article / Volume, Issue, Pages, Date are not retrieved Please give at least one example of a note not being transferred via MODS. Written in haste before leaving to work :) Also, note, English is not my native language. Was meant as "N…

The RIS sample file, which I could successfully import into Zotero, as well as the original EndNote file are here http://home.arcor.de/web_bill_be58/Zotero-Put2web/EndNOte-and-RIS.zip Note, Journal Article / Volume, Issue, Pages, Date a…

nosagt, if you are able to judge the quality of an XML file, it would be nice if you could look at the files I have uploaded, see the separate thread http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8726/data-loss-on-import-of-bibutils-generated-mods-file/#It…

It seems, I have figured out a procedure, though not perfect, but probably better then others for getting references from EndNote into Zotero. 1. Export from EndNote as XML 2. Send the file through two bibutils: end2xml Your-EndNote.xml …
-
Piping the intermediary MODS into bibutils' xml2bib to produce a BibTeX and importing that into Zotero produced much better results: Thesis imported as thesis, Journal Articles imported with Volume, Issue, and Pages... Only a Conference Paper (Meng…
-
Well, far from perfect yet :( In several cases the information contained in the MODS got lost - I can't judge whether it was poor bibutils MODS output or Zotero import failure (and going to start a separate thread). In any case there is hope for …

Thanks! http://www.scripps.edu/~cdputnam/software/bibutils/#endx2xml "endx2xml converts a EndNote-XML exported reference file to a MODS XML-intermediate bibliography file. " Will give it a try

More on import/export, probably, in some of the related threads. I think, it's VERY important. But first I have to do some tests. http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8651/converter-endnote-xml-to-mods-or-rdf/#Item_1

Now I've uploaded more-or-less final version of the comparison table. As compared with the first one(s), there are many changes. @adamsmith What about support? Zotero has very good support overall, with an active forum that includes the developers.…
-
@JonEP Please note, too, that because passing information back and forth between Endnote and Zotero is not seamless, it really is a matter of using one or the other--you can't do your research in Zotero, then pass all of those references back to End…

@ Dan Stillman :) well, that way somewhat easier (I can't find out any more why it didn't work from the beginning) Still, I would need many hundred of clicks to get the information I need (a dosen of styles descending from a single one). Or…

I have tryed. And even got a link to the "original" style, though it was not that easy (open the repository in Firefox, right click onto "install" link, copy link location, go to Safari, open the link, look into the XML file) But what I need is…
